Colts to monitor reps for Andrew Luck during training camp

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck is working his way back to return to the field early in the 2018 regular season, but he must first get through training camp.

With summer break just starting, Luck will have a little over one month to make progress in his throwing program before the team reports back for camp on July 25.

Once the team does return, the Colts will be monitoring Luck’s reps to make it feel more like a game week with a few off days mixed in, per Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated.

“To that end, I’m told the plan is to give Luck days off in training camp, and monitor reps to simulate what his regular-season regimen will be, so he’ll be conditioned for Week 1 when he gets there,” Breer wrote.

This isn’t much of a surprise, and Luck himself said this the day he was seen throwing a football for the first time since October. The Colts are having Luck go through his throwing program as if he were on a schedule during the regular season.

The 28-year-old quarterback detailed the throwing program he is going through during the break, and new head coach Frank Reich also gave some hints as to what the next six weeks will entail.

The Colts have shown plenty of confidence that Luck will be ready for training camp and the early portion of the regular season, but don’t be surprised if he is given a few off days.
